It’s that time of year, we are going to make starting school and turning a new leaf fun again!

Distinguish yourself amid a sea of black bags with a Poketo Packsack. These colorful carry-alls are constructed from canvas, and great school, the city, camping, day-trips–anything at all! There’s a front pocket, and a hidden pocket inside the main body. The body can hold a 15” laptop computer, with plenty of room for your books and other daily items.

Available in Navy, Stripes, and Primaries.

If you’ve used up all the paper in your Notefolio, don’t worry. You can choose from five Classmate Notebook designs–Retro Stripe, Yellow Flower, Classic Black, Hot Pink, and Craft–they are fantastic filler notebooks that we’ve added to our catalog.

Notefolio and Classmate Notebooks are sold separately.

The Desk-its proved themselves to be a hot summer item, and for good reason. They are a brilliant innovation on the classic post-it note–elongated with either a calendar or graph design. Especially in the hectic back-to-school season, its important to stay organized!

These adorable Bear Bookmark Tabs will hold your place in your novel, or help keep your notes well organized. They are also sticky on the back, and come in packs of 100.

Not just for your wall, the Spacetime Wall Decals will adhere to any smooth surface, from your car to your laptop, and they are also re-stickable if you want to move them around. In collaboration with Kitsune Noir, the Spacetime wall decal pack include all the designs from artists, Andy Miller, Cody Hudson, Damien Correll, and Mike Perry.

We’ll be having a fun filled closing party on Saturday May 22nd, from noon to 4pm. Everything must go! In market fashion, get ready to put your haggle face on and come and get some great vintage art pieces for the home and select Poketo stuff at a special 15% on this day only! If you have not seen the show yet, May 22nd is your last opportunity.

Not only that, but, we’ll be putting on the first ever “Los Angeles, I’m Yours” Ping Pong Tournament. That’s right, come out and enjoy the sun and play some PING PONG in the Space15Twenty courtyard with us. Sign up to compete and be prepared to earn ultimate bragging rights of being The Los Angeles, I’m Yours Ping Pong Champion! Winner will not only be the envy of friends, but, great prizes and a very special trophy will be awarded. SIGN UP TO PLAY HERE!

You’ve been hearing and seeing a lot about the show we have at Space15Twenty. I’m happy to announce that we have extended Poketo & Kitsune Noir‘s “Los Angeles, I’m Yours” an extra week, the show will close officially on Saturday, May 22nd. We have been showing pics of the space, the art in all the little nooks and crannies, if you have not seen it, here you go! But, I also want to show you some of the pieces, in it’s pure form. You can see the artists took time, love, and care in making these once insignificant objects into valuable art. These are one of a kind, go and visit the show before they disappear.

A Poketo & Kitsune Noir Market
When: April 24th to May 22nd, 2010
Where: Space 15 Twenty, 1520 N. Cahuenga Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028

For those that were there (seriously, what seemed like a thousand of you), that staked out their spot starting at 2pm sound check, for those that supported the band and bought tons of art-wallets-prints-music, for those that were singing out loud, for those that that held their camera phones up the entire show, for those that got their shoes signed, for those that were blown away by the art of “Los Angeles, I’m Yours”, for those that climbed on top of the roof to see the show, for those that were so cool and waited patiently for Portugal to rock your world… It was an epic night, one that will go down in Portugal history, our history…. on behalf of Poketo and Kitsune Noir… Thank you for being rad and know that on May 1, 2010, we shared a night that could only be relived in our memories, our hearts. Yes, it was that good.

These two were the first to arrive at 2pm. I made sure they knew the band wasn’t coming on until 8pm. They knew. The already toured the gallery, ate lunch, and now about to enjoy a special sound check and one on one with the band.

John Gourley and Austin Sellers hold their Portugal x Poketo wallets! Only 150 of the designs made!!

That is Martin of Poketo (middle). Martin started as an intern with Poketo and quickly became a permanent part of our team… he got “all access” to take the many incredible pictures you see here and on our flickr.

Super stoked to have this picture with frontman, John Gourley, Portugal artist Austin Sellers, me and Angie (Poketo). John and Austin collaborated on art for the show, two original one off pieces sold that night. Lucky for the collector that got these one and only.
